## Resource

Earnings season is open. We work through Intel's (INTC) bizarre tripling in share price, Tim Cook's exit from Apple (AAPL), Texas Instruments' (TXN) 18% single-day surge, and European earnings from Mensch und Maschine (MUM.DE), L'Oréal (OR.PA), VOPAK (VPK.AS), and Procter & Gamble (PG). Dividend hikes covered: Parker Hannifin (PH) +11%, Nasdaq Inc. (NDAQ) +15%, Otis Worldwide (OTIS) +4.8%, Qualcomm (QCOM) +3.4%, Air Products (APD) +1.1%, IBM +0.6%. Then 20 listener questions such as DRIP strategy, milestone celebrations, renewables vs. oil and gas, European dividend stocks Americans overlook, withholding tax, using AI in your investment process, insurance entry points, Rubis (RUI.PA), and whether Wero poses any real threat to Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA).
